This is a radio play type affair that appears to have been recorded in front of an audiance ( you hear the laughter in the background ). It's a fun premise with Sherlock Holmes vs Dracular, I mean how could that not be a fun idea? The writers have done a clever thing of actually weaving Sherlock Holmes in to the original Dracular story rather than starting from scratch with a wholey new story. A very clever trick. If you know the Bram Stoker book this adds a new level of interest to the listening. The story is engaging but with Sherlock stories I've been spoiled by listening to Basil Rathbones interpretation so when I hear the character played differently it can be off putting for me. The radio play works very well and is a fun listen but not produced professionally which shows in the audio quality. The gun fire sound effects sound very much like those used in the computer game DOOM and there is a lot of microphone popping. Dont let my pointing out of the negatives put you off, this is a fun listen and a clever idea. If you want to read more of my reviews please visit http://FreeAudioReview.BlogSpot.com

A formidable, full-cast audio drama!

A better variant of the ``Sherlock Holmes versus Dracula´´ story. Dunno, if it is the original work, or a more enthusiast copycat. Still, good work, clear audio, and no bloated file size for downlad.
